One of my recent purchases from Sephora was Smashbox Be Discovered Be Legendary Lipstick in Melondrama ($19USD/$22CAD). I got this during my haul when I had 15% off at Sephora last month.
What does this lipstick do (according to Sephora):
Legendary beauties are unforgettable for their daring, iconic style. Get famously bold lips that stand out from the crowd with this beautiful lip color packed with vitamins C and E. It’s guaranteed to keep your lips feeling smooth and looking marvelous.
I picked this lipstick up because I wanted a bright coral/orange-y color for the summer. I tried a couple, and Melondrama was the color that stuck with me.
Firstly, I love the packaging of the lipstick. It’s sleek and classy.
The site describes Melondrama as a “soft peach” but to me, it seems like a coral-orange color. It is very creamy and glides on smoothly. It does not have any tastes or scent, which I like about it. The color is very pigmented can go on light and nicely with one swipe, but it can be build-able as well.I think this is a great summer color!
The lipstick feels very moisturizing and does not dry the lips out. I recommend exfoliating your lips before wearing this color, because it can outline dry lips.
Here’s a picture of me wearing Melondrama. I took the picture in two different lighting. The picture on the left depicts are more accurate color of the lipstick. Eye makeup should be minimal to counter the effect of the bright lip color!
